How to Quickly and Easily Grow Your Instagram Following
Instagram is a great platform for sharing your creative work and connecting with other people. You can also use it to grow your following, which will help you build a following that's more engaged with the content you share. In this post, we'll show you how easy it is to grow your Instagram account by following these simple strategies!
1. Choose your niche.
Choose your niche.
- Choose a niche that interests you, one that you can be passionate about and know a lot about.
- Choose a niche in which you are good at (or can make money from). If it's something outside of your skill set, like fashion or cooking (which have their own followings), then this might not work for Instagram growth because people won't see value in following someone who doesn't have any talent or expertise in those areas, even if they do post pictures of themselves doing those things!
2. Post regularly.
- Post at least once a day.
- Post at a consistent time.
- Post at a consistent frequency.
- Post at a consistent cadence (the number of seconds between posts).
- Keep your cadence and pace consistent, so that you don't get bored or lose followers by posting too often or too infrequently, respectively.
3. Use the right hashtags.
- Use the right hashtags.
Use hashtags that are relevant to your audience and will appeal to them, but don't overdo it or you'll be drowning in a sea of irrelevant content. When choosing a hashtag, think about what kind of content would fit best with that particular topic: If you're posting pictures of your cat's sleeping face, "#catsofinstagram" might be a good choice because it's more likely someone will find what they're looking for there than somewhere else on Instagram (such as #petstagram). Make sure that each hashtag has at least one character space between words so users can easily click on them without having to scroll through multiple lines of text first!
4. Engage with your followers and others you admire.
You can get more followers by engaging with other people's photos. The more you comment on the photos of others, the more likely your account will be seen by them.
If you are a business and want to grow your Instagram following, follow other businesses in your industry that have similar accounts. If you're a blogger, then follow other bloggers who write about similar topics as you do (or at least have similar audiences).
5. Share user-generated content and shout out to your fans!
Now that you have your followers, it's time to engage with them! To do this, all you have to do is share user-generated content and shout out to your fans.
Shout-outs are a great way to engage with your followers since they'll see that you're actually paying attention and listening. You can also use a hashtag in order to find the content that interests you (and then share it). For example: "#tagged" will bring up all tagged posts within Instagram's search function—so if someone tags me in an image or video, I'm going to see it when I go looking for new things!
6. Join an Instagram engagement group or pod.
Engagement groups are a great way to grow your Instagram following, and they're easier than you think.
An engagement group is simply an online community of people who share the same interests and goals as you do. They'll help each other grow their accounts, provide tips for growing one's audience on Instagram, and most importantly—they'll be supportive of each other's progress!
Here's how it works: You find some friends who have similar interests as yours (like food photography), then create an account with them on Facebook or Twitter. Then when someone in your group posts something interesting that they created/shared while following along with you on Instagram (like a recipe), others will see it before anyone else does! This makes them more likely to follow back so they can stay up-to-date with what happens with whatever activity gets shared first because everyone knows exactly where everything is posted at all times."
